Very dissappointing. Still can't view my dashboard on the main screen to show whether my car is running, locked, etc. Constant error messages showing (failed to execute (702). Clearly, I haven't had any issues with my internet. App will show engine not running, and the car will be running. There's also times that the app will show the car running and the car never started. You can NEVER reach anyone by phone!!! Will be looking elsewhere once contract ends👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾...

Hello Hiawatha, Your remote start system doesn't support the dashboard status bar or runtime display. Those features require a digital remote start system such as our DS4; your SmartStart 550 does support them but not the RS system you have. I see a 2nd issue related to push notifications and have asked support to contact you about both issues.

The app went dormant and no is not because of my phone. Since Thursday (02/29/24) the app keeps showing a connection error (3 different phones) no idea what's wrong but is not from my end, the worst part is that everything works (lock, unlock, remote start) but the app only shows the error and the dashboard never changes

I upgraded to the new module and it has a much faster response but after setting the geo fencing ( enter and exit) I get a text message that the vehicle has moved on my cell phone..my old module set off a siren to alert me when the vehicle moved or was speeding. I've called several times and hung up after being a hold for over half hour .. very frustrating. Wish I would have stuck with the old module.. wasn't worth paying for reinstalling it.
